Ingredients

8 servings
  • Broccoli(454g)
  • Cream Cheese(227g)

    Standard block cream cheese. Neufchatel (1/3 less fat) is a good swap.

  • Cream, Heavy Whipping(240g)
  • Mayonnaise, Regular(120g)
  • Sour Cream(60g)

    Regular or fat-free both work. Fat-free is thinner but saves ~40 cal/serving.

  • Curry Powder, Ground(15g)
  • Chicken Bouillon, Dry(10g)
  • Chicken Breast, Grilled(960g)
  • Cheddar Cheese(480g)

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 375°F with a rack in the center position.
  2. 2Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli and cook until bright green and slightly tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. In a medium heat-proof bowl, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, mayonnaise, sour cream, curry powder, and bouillon. Microwave in 1 minute intervals, stirring in between, until the cream cheese is softened, up to 3 minutes total. Whisk until smooth and combined.
  3. 3Place the chicken in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or 12 inch ovenproof skillet. Pour in the broccoli and cream sauce and mix to incorporate. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top.
  4. 4Bake until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted, about 35 minutes. Serve warm over cooked rice or cauliflower rice.
